Tiny Bear has an agenda

[Pooeypants]

There are medical reasons for it as well. A human body is the best reservoir for disease, pretty any pathogen you can find on it will infect another human. Now why would you want to eat that?

[tinybear]

I wouldn't. But if someone wants to, why stop him unless you think it's gross? Medical reasons? Nah, gimme a break. If you listen to the medics, we'd be eating nothing but veggies. Besides, you guys never listen to the medics anyway, 'cos they tell you not to smoke, drink, have too much sex...etc etc Why start now, eh?

I don't smoke, I don't drink, I haven't had sex. What's your point? Not all Medics recommend a veggie diet, most they recommend balanced diets because we're omnivores.

Quote by: tinybear Gee, why have I turned into a controversial figure? All I said was we should kill those Islamic terrorists. Is that so bad? And is my fault that America's No. 1 enemy these days happen to be Islamic terrorists? If they were Hindu terrorists, I'd be saying the same thing. But they happen to be Muslims. Hey, not my fault, is it? As for Muslims not treating women as equals, again, I say that there's ample evidence it's the truth.

Well just because the media or the pentagon calls them terrorists doesn't make it so.

I would argue our #1 enemy is religious fundamentalism of any stripe not any particular religion.

We ATTACKED a secular country when we invaded Iraq.

Look, it's a rule that anything that's 'healthy' and 'good' for you (according to the medics that is) never tastes any good. You ain't gonna tell me you faithfully follow their advice, are you? Nice juicy steaks are bad for your health. But do you want one? Sure you do. :)

I'm not sure about Iraq being secular. I'll get back to you on that. But one thing's sure: those are Islamic terrorists we're up against. Don't let the fact that they also kill their fellow Muslims fool you into thinking that they are not.

[Chris]

I think there is a lot more proof to call them terrorist other than "The pentagon says so" (besides The State dept. determines status of other countries not the pentagon)

How about the evidence of terrorism throughout the world. We can all agree that not ALL terrorists are muslim. But there are a lot of them that are muslims.

Recognize your trollishness, tinybear. You have sidetracked legit threads over and over, as well as initiating topics that are repugnant. You need to get a job...

[Pooeypants]

Yeah, get another job where the boss is a woman so you won't get sexually harasses :rolleyes:

[tinybear]

Uncle Patrick, I did get a job. But it didn't last long 'cos I slapped my boss. I'm trying to get another job interview. I should get one soon. After all, I sent out 17 letters.

Yes it is, because you (to quote gwb)catapult that propaganda. We are tresspassing in the middle east. They are responding to our unprovoked attack on oil rich muslim nations. So dont act surprised. Terrorism is a 2 way street.

[tinybear]

Fedfem, I checked and did a search. Iraq was/still is to all intents and purposes a Muslim state.

"Although members of the ruling Baath Party generally are ideologically committed to secularism, about 95 percent of Iraqis are Muslim and Islam is the officially recognized state religion. Islam came to the region with the victory of the Muslim armies under Caliph Umar over the Sassanians in A.D. 637 at the battle of Al Qadisiyah. The majority of inhabitants soon became Muslim, including the Kurds, although small communities of Christians and Jews remained intact in the area of present-day Iraq."

She is an EXPAT so that would indicate to me that she is over there for work. right?

Sounds like she already has a good job.

[tinybear]

Chris, I'm unemployed at the moment; hopefully, not for long.

With the current economic outlook in HK, I rather doubt it.

What are 'legit' threads? Who defines what's 'legit'? And which of these 'legit' threads have I 'sidetracked'.

What are 'repugnant topics'? I thought Volconvo encourages freedom of speech, including freedom to debate a wide range of topics. You mean there are topics which cannot be debated? Does the word 'cannibalism' strike a chill down your spine? Well, the word 'terrorism' strikes a chill down mine, but I'm happy to debate the topic all the same. But do you know which word scares me the most? "Censorship". That scares the hell outta me.

Gee, thanks Pooey. You're very encouraging.

What? I'm just being realistic. Besides, I bet your dad told you go to HK to get a husband...

Wrong, it was secular.

Don't you realize that Islamic terrorists saw Saddam and his government as the enemy? Bin Laden vowed to bring down Saddam and obviously he won.

There were no laws against alcohol, women did not have to cover their heads. Women were allowed to be educated and to serve in government, work etc. Christians and Jews lived in Baghdad without persecution as well.

They can no longer do these things.

no looking for the other side of the story

In America, you're not supposed to nor are you expected to show all sides of an argument when you're making a point. You simply make your point and give sources that back that point.
